The Craftsman, official journal of
the international Typographical
Union, exposes the glaring unftness
Of Public Printer Benedict for the
position he occupies through the
''influoncc" of President Cleveland.
His ignorance of the printing bust
ness was no bar to his appointment
as public printer by the democratic"
reform" president by mugwumpian
grace.

The fact that Henry George does
not desire to enter into an argument
with Laurence Gronlund will hardly
prevent the arguments of the latter
already advanced from having their
good effect. Still, if Henry George
had faith in the efficiency Of his own
or his adopted theories, he certainly
might have had faith also in his
ability to strengthen his position by
engaging in a friendly argument with
the author of "The Cooperative
Commonwealth" As it u.s. Gronlund
has quietly scored point for the So
clalistic idea. This he would have
done anyhow, and there is little
doubt that George was too well aware
of the impregnahiIity of Gronlund's
position to attempt an attack.

"If Mr.. Powderly steps down as the

Doubt it. Any organization that
depends for success upon the good
qualities of any one man is not
worthy of an eXistence-certainly not
as a factor in the labor movement.
A little study of socialistic principles
would lead to the adoption Of q sys-
TEN among labor organizations that
would develop something better than
the sheepish instinct of following a
leader.

There are all kinds of 1abor'
papers. Here is an editorial cllu-
sion from the brightest and best pa
per Of the kind IN Quincy, Illinois:
The Jo'n7M Of hiHSiiy throws in gra-
tuitouSly the remark that il does not
want any anarchy or Socialism for its
share. The oIdfashoned Constitution
Is good enough for lis; but we do want
to see all men free and equal. and we
want to see all men have their rights;
but at the same time we know that they
will not have them unless they get ont
and demand Them. and keep ON demand,
my them, for be it known that man is by
nature CoVetOlls and poWer-loving.
OF such are the enemies of social,

There is a class of people born
with certain fixed principles and
ideas from which it is impossible for
them to be led astray. They are
opposed to all progress save that
which is accomplished through the
old and time-worn rutS, and look
upon any innovation in human effort
with the most bitter hatred. The
braycst speculative philosopher is
reasonably certain to be oyerawcd 10y

a cannon ball, or swcryc from the
path Of duty under the pressure of
any palpable danger, will wilt before

1t is all very well for labor organ
izations to devise plans for the i'm
proyement of their condition and the
extension of their powers as citizens,
but before any apprcciable advance
in this line can be made the working
people must have controlling voice
in the government. To obtain this
should therefore be the first consid-
Grafton with workmcn who know
what they want, while at the same
time the educational work should be
pushed in order that all workers
may know what they need. Agta-
ton, education and political con-
quest should 60 together.

prVOTT IN THE Ear EIST

The revolt in Afghanstan is attracting little
attention in England. That it is formidable
one the cable dispatches have indicated for
month past, and there are excellent reasons
for suspccting that Russia has instgated It,
Abdurrabman Khan has made bitter enemies
among the leaders of powerful tribes and a
combination has been formed against him.
The Ghilzais, after defeating his troops near
Ghuzni, received acccssons from half a dozen
more tribes in Eastern and Central Afghans-
tan. and threatened to attack Cabul and Can
dahar simultaneously The latest accounts
represent both of these cities to be in extreme
danger. the Ameer's troops having been again
defeated in a pitched battle near Jcllalabad.
Civil war has evidently extended to Northern
and Western Afghanistan, for the Governors
of BadakshaD and Hcrat have sent urgent re-
quests for heavy rcinforccments. The Dou-
RANGES arc still loyal to the Government, and
they are the most powerful tribe; but unless
recent disasters can be speedily retrieved,
there will be another Ameer on the throne
before many weeks have passed. The hand Of
Russian intrigue may be traced in the move
mcnts in the North and West, if. not in the
East and il is considered probable that the
signal for another advance will be given, al
though the International Boundary Commits
sioners have resumed their labors In the face
of all this menacing news England is not cx-
cited, and there is no prospect of a renewal
of the war panic which prevailed few years
ago, when Penjdeh was captured.
Irish questions, of course, arc of paramount
Importance in London, and the rapid march
of events in the East does not attract nearly as
much attention as it would if bitter political
struggle were not in progress. But this is only
partial explanation of the apathy with which
Russian intrigue and Afghan anarchy are re-
garded. England after Pcnjdeh was danger
ously near war Of tremendous magnitude,
and the risk that was incurred had SOLDERING
effect upon men of both parties. The folly of
attempting to defend Herat against Russia is
now generally conceded in England, although
a short time ago the necessity Of supporting
the Ameer and repelling an invasion of his
territory was considered imperative British
army would have to occupy Candahar and
march 500 miles before it could meet the
enemy on even terms and every mile of the
advance would increase the risk Of Afghan
treachery. The Russians fighting close to
their base Of operations would have every adj

THE FISHERIES CORRESPONDENCE.


The fisheries correspondence outlined in our
special dispatches from Ottawa on Wednes-
dav last contains rival schemes for the adj
iustment of the controversy. Secretary
Bayard's memorandum of proposed treaty
embraced series of futile cxpcdients
for defining the three-mile limit and
determining the commercial status of Ameri-
can fishing vessels in Dominion harbors. Per-
haps we ought to be grateful rather than crit
zeal, since the Secretary's proposals involved
no compromise of principle and were so I'M
satisfactory TO his former clients that Lord
Lansdowne refused to entertain them. Still
il must be source of regret to public-splr1ted
Americans that the State Department should
have recommended the adoption of scheme
of regulations for securing to American fisher
men treaty rights which were repeatedly de-
MED them last summer They were not al
lowed in many well authenticated instanceS to
enter harbors for the purpose Of obtaining
shelter from storms, of purchasing wood and
water and of making repairs. Every refusal
Of these privileges was a palpable violation oil
the Treaty of 1918. The Department would
have adopted a more dignifed course If it had
refrained from asking for the establishment
of Joint rules for securing TO American fisher
men the enjoyment Of their rights. A more
vigorous Secretary would have given warning
long ago that repeated violations of the Treaty
of 1918 would inevitably be followed by the
abrogation of the Convention and revcrslon
to the earlier fisheries compact
The most important feature Of the corr-
spondence, the text OF Lord Salisbury's offer
to return TO the basis Of the Treaty without
pecuniaIy indemnity, has already been dis
cusscd in these columns. This recommended
ton from the British point of view is an OK
tremc concession and yet it must be regarded
on the American side as a proposal to enter
into bad bargain. The inShore fisheries arc
not worth the open market for Canadian fish,
even with the prcpoStcrous Halifax award re-
scindcd. The British offer is a convincing
proof, however, not only that the award Is
now admitted on both sides 10 have been un.
reasonable. but also that the conduct of the
Canadian authorities last year cannot be
justified. Lord Salisbury found himself TO be
placed at serious disadvantage in discussing
the details Of various unwaTantablc seizures
and high-handcd violations Of treaty law. He
was anxious to shift the discussion TO some
other quarter, and accordingly suggested the
suspension of the pccuniary indemnity. The
special instructions given to fisheries officers
by the Canadian Government are very different
from the arrogant regulations imposed last
season. Evidently the London Foreign Oilrc
has warned the Colonial authorities that
heavy bill of damages will have TO be paid for
the high handed operations of the cruisers,
and that change of tactics is absolutely
necessary.

II would be well if all infections of the
death penalty could be managed as decently
as in the case of Peter Smith. Everything
was quickly over at an early hour, and fewer
people watched the sad business than ever be-
fore attended an execution in this State. The
condemned man was a fine type of the regular
New-Y York rufiian, and showed almost as much
nerve as Jaehne did when he was sentenced
to Sing Sing. 1t should bc noted. as proof OF
advancing civilization in this city, that no
maudlin sympathy or flowers were at any
time wasted on Smith.
